In Blazing Saddles, Mel Brooks plays Governor Lepetomane. Le Petomane was the stage name of Joseph Pujol, a French vaudeville era entertainer. He was a professional flatulist. His act was to fart at will. from wikipedia:    Some of the highlights of his stage act involved sound effects of cannon fire and thunderstorms, as well as playing ""O Sole Mio" and "La Marseillaise" on an ocarina through a rubber tube in his anus. He could also blow out a candle from several yards away.

 

I found all of this out maybe 20 years after the first time I saw Blazing Saddles. That might be my favorite joke in the whole movie now.

The bst joke from that movie is Hedley Lamar.

 

Governor Lepetomane : Thank you, Hedy, thank you

Hedley Lamarr : It's not *Hedy*, it's *Hedley*. Hedley Lamarr.

Governor Lepetomane : What the hell are you worried about? This is 1874. You'll be able to sue *her*.

 

She did sue them for that.

What's your favorite one.

 

That has to beat Minnie E. Rection. 

 

Right?

I have a buddy who says if he lost any, he’d be an “innie” instead of an “outie”.
